Turtle Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 One issue I have noticed is that, as cool as the new gauntlet-pieces are, it would be nice to have an alternate piece for the left arms of each figure. You really can't pose them without the shield on their arm unless you give them bare hands. You also can't put the shield on the backpack-deal while keeping the gloves on without it looking funny. Whoa. That is kind of a colossal bummer. I had just assumed that there would be enough cuffs to go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 In future sets, all figures will come with one foot. That way, you have the option of buying two sets in order to display them in the "two-footed variant" mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 2 sets, you could borrow the right hand cuff to put on the left. BS Or just use some old cap gloves... For regular and frozen Cap anyway. Zombie Caps gloves might work on WWII Cap...

minimadman Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I went to the biggest, most well organized TRU I have ever seen today but no luck finding these. I may have to resort to the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Besides the glove thing, I think what disappointed me was the mask-around-the-neck on Frozen Cap. Hell yes, it's cool... but wouldn't it be equally cool to have them for the other fabric-costume Caps? Or to be able to use the one from the Frozen Cap if the paint color matched at least one of the others? Ahhh, the things I think about...

stack32 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 It looks like the color of the mask might match the Cap coming in the Classic Heroic Age box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I definitely plan on putting that on one of my many other Captain Americas to make an unmasked Cap. I bet we'll see that reused at least once or twice down the road.

Mystery Man Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm sure hoping so. It's such a cool piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secaucuscollector Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Picked up mine at my local TRU. Saw someone with 3 sets, I couldnt tell if he was a collector or a scalper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Be pretty silly to try and scalp that set, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Well. This is annoying. I had this sitting in my cart all day, waiting for mom to get home to order it. And as soon as i click back to that tab just minutes ago...sold out, and BAM out of my cart. Okay TRU...you win this round. Way to pull a Mattycollector on me. I'm a little ticked at this.

hellpop Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 So I found this set yesterday. DST should really think about doing something else with their case packouts, mixing in some older box sets or two packs, because there were a dozen overflowing the peg, and I have a hard time believing that they'll sell down. Anyway, it's a nice set, very well done, but it could be so much more. I just wish that there was a little bit more diversity to this set, and we'd gotten the Captain, or Nomad (Steve Rogers as Nomad, not Jack Monroe), or the Waid/Garney Man Without a Country look, or the current Steve Rogers: Super Soldier, or really just anything so this wasn't just four Captain America Minimates, one of which is essentially just another basic Cap. Oh well. When they get clearanced, they'll be nice fodder for those of us that want red buccaneer boots, blond hairpieces and blue body parts.

Rheul Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I have a feeling we'll be getting all those Caps you mentioned in either another box set or in two packs once the move hits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Finally found this set this weekend and it has lived up to all of my great expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I can keep an eye out, if you'd like. The first store I went to to find these, I did, and like hellpop was saying, there were too many for the peg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'm still not finding this or the Heroic Age set in my local store. I'll give it another week or so before I start to worry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It's good to know I'm not the only one not finding this set in store. After TRU.com screwed up my order, I've been a little more antsy than usual about this set. Most of the time Minimates show up in my local stores about a week after they're first spotted. Since the Secret Wars box sets never made it to my TRUs I'm fearful these won't either. Has anybody found the Heroic Age sets in a physical store yet? Wasn't it just that small batch of sets available online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Has anybody found the Heroic Age sets in a physical store yet? Wasn't it just that small batch of sets available online? Both the Cap sets and the Heroic Age sets are showing up in even quantities here in Canada. I'm not sure that's the answear you're looking for as you'd probably feel more at ease knowing a fellow american found them on your side of the border.

hellpop Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I've not seen the Heroic Age box set. I was at the TRU where I bought my set today, and it looks like these are selling decently. I counted seven, so I'm assuming that five were sold. I think it would've made more sense to pack the Cap and Heroic Age sets together, but I also think it makes sense to just make Kang so we all shut up about it, so what do I know....

youbastards Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 For anyone in SE Michigan looking for these, the TRU in Novi had 6 of them tonight as well as some M.A.X. sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 For anyone in SE Michigan looking for these, the TRU in Novi had 6 of them tonight as well as some M.A.X. sets. Anyone still looking for these? I picked up some extras just in case. Let me know if you need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChunk Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Still no sign of them, or the Heroic Age set, in SW Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
